Chern-Simons vs. Yang-Mills gaugings in three dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, gauged supergravities in three dimensions with Yang-Mills and ChernSimons type interactions have been constructed. In this article, we demonstrate that any gauging of Yang-Mills type with semisimple gauge group G0, possibly including extra couplings to massive Chern-Simons vectors, is equivalent on-shell to a pure Chern-Simons type gauging with non-semisimple gauge group G0⋉T ⊂ G, where T is a certain translation group, and where G is the maximal global symmetry group of the ungauged theory. We discuss several examples. [email protected] [email protected]

متن کاملN = 2 Superstring Theory Generates Supersymmetric Chern-simons Theories
We show that the action of self-dual supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four-dimensions, which describes the consistent massless background fields for N = 2 superstring, generates the actions for N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric non-Abelian Chern-Simons theories in three-dimensions after appropriate dimensional reductions. Since the latters play important roles for supersymmetric integrable mode...

In this paper we show that a particular twist of N = 4 super Yang-Mills in three dimensions with gauge group SU(2) possesses a set of classical vacua corresponding to the space of flat connections of the complexified gauge group SL(2, C). The theory also contains a set of topological observables corresponding to Wilson loops wrapping non-trivial cycles of the base manifold. This moduli space an...
متن کاملYang-mills-chern-simons Supergravity
N = (1, 0) supergravity in six dimensions admits AdS3 × S 3 as a vacuum solution. We extend our recent results presented in hep-th/0212323, by obtaining the complete N = 4 Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons supergravity in D = 3, up to quartic fermion terms, by S3 group manifold reduction of the six dimensional theory. The SU(2) gauge fields have Yang-Mills kinetic terms as well as topological Chern-Simon...
متن کاملYang-Mills as massive Chern-Simons theory: a third way to three-dimensional gauge theories.
The Yang-Mills (YM) equation in three spacetime dimensions (3D) can be modified to include a novel parity-preserving interaction term, with an inverse mass parameter, in addition to a possible topological mass term. The novelty is that the modified YM equation is not the Euler-Lagrange equation of any gauge-invariant local action for the YM gauge potential alone. Instead, consistency is achieve...
